As I explained on Confessions yesterday, while I’m in New York with my girls (and mother-in-law) this week, I’m attending the launch of an incredible new magazine called Where Women Cook. Where Women Cook is the food counterpart to the fabulous magazine Where Women Create, [...] Keep Reading

Ranching families are weird. Every Christmas they give one another things like deerskin work gloves. Deerskin work gloves are the best. They’re soft, supple, comfortable, and oh so durable. Cowboys wear deerskin work gloves. The kids wear them, too. Even I wear deerskin [...] Keep Reading

We’ll just keep this entire website under the baking umbrella today, okay? Cookies took over our lives this weekend! When I arranged to have Bridget from Bake at 350 come teach a cookie decorating class at the Lodge this weekend, I was excited when she offered to wrangle all the [...] Keep Reading

I know food gifts abound around the holidays, but I just received one of these this week and I’m excited to sink my teeth in. Of course, I live for cheese of any kind. So I’m a little biased. I’ve heard of Murray’s Cheese Shop in New York before. I’ve [...] Keep Reading

I love men’s cologne. Always have. And more than most things, I associate certain varieties of men’s cologne with various periods of my life. They’re incredibly evocative. Here’s my stance on men’s cologne: I’m not a huge fan of the new crop of [...] Keep Reading

I love these. I’m suddenly into leggings across the board, but was particularly drawn to these babies. What I love about them is that they really are denim. They’re not spandex printed to look like denim. A little about these leggings: [...] Keep Reading

These are my daughter’s shoes. Please excuse any signs of ranch life. They’re TOMS Glitter Shoes, and they’re all the rage this year. Okay, so I have no idea whether or not they’re all the rage this year. I just know that my daughter loves them. And I [...] Keep Reading

All I have to say is… I’m in love. Did you know this series existed? If so, why didn’t you tell me? They’re Lego architectural sets—special homages to famous buildings across the United States. [...] Keep Reading

I realize it might be a little strange to see a food product on PW Home and Garden, but in the coming weeks I’m going to be posting holiday gift ideas that fall under any number of categories, including cooking, food, and wine. Watch for cookbook recommendation, kitchen gadgets, and [...] Keep Reading

I traveled a lot over the past year, and my lack of love for flying is well documented. I don’t know what it says about Wired Magazine that it became the go-to publication I’d pick up in airport gift shops, but curiously, it did. This was strange, considering I had all manner [...] Keep Reading

Here are a few new bath, body, and makeup items I’ve picked up over the past several months. I love them. Some would make great stocking stuffers. Some would make great additions to your purse! Mac Prep + Prime. This is, essentially, a primer to go under foundation. I never [...] Keep Reading

I’m in love with this gift idea. (Though something tells me the parents of the gift recipient might not be 100% appreciative.) They’re Food Face plates from one of my favorite websites, Fred and Friends. Here’s what comes in each gift box. The perfect [...] Keep Reading

I grew up in the leg warmer era. Of course, I didn’t wear them to be cool. I wore them in ballet class. But still. Leg warmers are around today, and are cute with short or knee-length skirts, leggings, or–if you’re extremely hip and edgy–short shorts and cute heels. [...] Keep Reading

It looks a little like a boomerang. (Note: please ignore the smudges on the product. I live in a house of hooligan monkeys.) But for those of us who’ve crossed over the dark side into the land of the iPad… (Even those of us who shattered our iPad’s [...] Keep Reading

I love this line of all-natural, unbelievably soft and safe wooden baby toys. Created by a husband-and-wife team, the block sets, rattles, and teethers are crafted from soft locally-sourced wood that will never splinter or chip. Pieces are either left unfinished or rubbed with certified [...] Keep Reading

I saw these at the HandMade Market I attended in the middle of September. I love anything floral. But there was something about these that really grabbed me. The lovely owner was sitting behind her table of goods, threading individual beads through wires and crafting them into various [...] Keep Reading

I got a manicure over the weekend. It was sorely needed. I had all sorts of things under my fingernails, not to mention my nails were starting to resemble the shape of various American states. In L.A. for a total of 36 hours from Saturday night to early Monday, I went to a Bliss Spa in my [...] Keep Reading

My post titles here on PW Home and Garden have been a little hyperbolic lately. Sorry. But in the case of the product I’m featuring today, “life-changing” isn’t too far from the truth. I received one of these little numbers as a gift awhile back, and just [...] Keep Reading

I posted about Tweak awhile back, and I continue to adore this line of handcrafted jewelry, created by Ontario-based designer Caroline Bruce. Here’s the “Rock Star” necklace. Gorgeous. This is the [...] Keep Reading
